MAY

This consists of another losing month in 18-mans, but 11% ROI over 250 9-mans, 69% ROI in 175 45's and 42% in 200 180's. Oh and not frogetting of course the MTT bink for near $2k. Weird month really.

Can't say I even noticed :|

On reflection, I have had a good past 10 or 11 days. Let's take a look at the chip figures first. 1.5m million down on EV. 2.24 bb/100. 6.6 EVbb/100. Doesn't sound great does it.

PROFIT= +$4.5k....sorry, what???? the 18mans are the only game I've suffered really bad in to be fair and if they'd even been half of expectation then this month would've been shaping up for a possible record breaker, especially for the piss poor volume (of my usual standard).

I like my past 11 day graph. I'd like to show it off a bit. ty

I'll be back moaning again in a few days. gl all.

biggest score

Had my biggest MTT score to date on Sunday. Albeit only $1.9k. I'd flunked the SCOOP main low, ironically my biggest buy-in to date, and had some other reg speed MTT's going. Well one kept going, a $13.50 KO with 1500+ players. At 6 handed on the FT I had 2.5m chips with my nearest adversary on 600k. This hand, however, put a shitter on things.

The luckbox 2 outing me went on to beat me HU as well having 4x'd my limp pre with 92o and flopping 92x. *GIGANTIC EYEROLL*

Today I didn't play all day until I just fired up some 18's at 2am...and ran absolutely fucking awful once again. It's just these fucking 18mans. Rigged to absolute shit right now. I just cannot play them...impossible...literally it's lighting money on fire...it's huzzing a ton of molotov cocktails right at my bank account. Unreal.

Some progress

I have now played a total of TWO $60 45-mans. Last night I got 3rd in one! :DDD This is a much bigger thing for me to celebrate than a SnG grinder might think. When you step up in stake it makes you feel like that desperate fish you once were, folding to the money, probably playing incorrectly. I'm no stranger to $60 games, but when the field is bigger then it feels like another step up. In terms of difficulty reacing a FT, well it IS another step up. And it's amplified a ton more by the fact the games rarely go off. So you feel that extra desperation to make good of this rare game, thus feeling like a fish again. It's similar in the $35 180's as they don't go off all that much either.

In this $60 45 last night I got lucky at the end. I had 3bbs left at FT bubble stage, that's the point where you're short handed and most regs are shoving terribly wide. But it started off excellently, and I was sitting in the top 2 spots up until bb200a then ended up in the 3bb spot. I shoved K6o UTG 5 handed and KTo called. Flop was x66. FT bubble burst where I had 5bbs and 9 hands later we were down to 6, whereby each person with all their chips in the middle with the worst hand...ACTUALLY LOST!!!! SHOCK HORROR!!!!!! I was then dealt KK and 99, made some chips and ended up going out in 3rd for $410!

It's a shame the higher buy-ins just don't run enough to get samples. As of now it's 4.30pm WET on a Saturday and there's just FIVE $15/45s running and no $35/180's running at all. I can't say for sure but I think in 2010 games ran way better than that. It's ok saying they run great at peak times but that's because all the regs play then. But I guess even most fish are post-tea-time players though, so only 170k players online right now probably reaches 250k in the next 4 hours.

Anyways, my main reason for posting right now is to barg a little bit about my 45/180 graph. My stats on sharkscope are reset from 20th October last year. This is because my game changed at this point for the considerable better imo.

So 700 games is no particular sample and I do have a lower EVbb/100 than actual, but whatever, I think it's worth a small barg.

But I can barg about ROI's til the cows come home, overall on 2012 I've now made $42/hr INCLUDING rakeback. Still almost half the rate I was on at the end of Feb. MUST TRY HARRRRRRRRDERRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Suicide fail

I even suffer god awful run bad at killing myself....the noose snapped!!

On a lighter note, after a tiny gap of not playing, I decided to dive into 45/180s and try playing longer making use of the breaks.

Here are two days of doing this:

Ran pretty well throughout so tonight I regged a bunch back in the 18s again:

Half a grand dumped in seconds. But it's totally random people. Oh yes, you can't run well in one game format and bad in another, no, it's TOTALLY RAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. fuck ya nan Scheinberg.

Just lost control for 1st time ever

There's only so much a human can take. I've headbutted my keyboard a few times in the past and I mostly smash it one with an open slap...but that's the furthest I've ever gone. Just now took another step.

I'm kicking back, no intention of playing poker, drinking beer, when I notice a SCOOP turbo is starting so think what the hey, I'll one table as it's a turbo it won't go on for days on end.

So I'm one tabling whilst railing isildur with all the other fanboys and taking the chronic piss out of his god awful shove ranges which don't matter a fucking shit because he's a massive super user that flops a flush 100% of the time...and I'm taking my time. We get past the rebuy hour cause it's a double chance, I didn't need my 2nd chance either. Patiently waiting with no hands at all...then:

I did my usual left handed open smash onto the keyboard, then launched it up in the air tennis serve style and blew it's jaw clean off with a right cross, sending into my immaculate rented wall leaving a giant dent.

It's pure fucking bullshit man, all day, all night, all week, all month, all fucking year. bullshitbullshitbullshit. If you motherfuckers actually believe that online RNG's can give u so much cunting bad luck and be random then you're as fuckin brainwashed as every nazi was listening to Hitler drone on. There is no possible way you can COINCIDENTALLY suffer beat after beat after beat for fucking ever, barring a little well earned 6 month holiday once every millennium. Just watch Isildur, I've watched both his winning final tables and also railed him early game and seriously he luckboxes every single tiny little thing. You don't shove 20bbs with Q7s, it's not a winning play and never will be. When you're him with an RNG remote control in your hand though, it doens't matter. Fuck this game and fuck you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blog's finshed!! Poker's finished!! I won't be fucking back so look out for my suicide in the papers you cunts!!!!!!!!!!
